A woman was injured this afternoon in a crash that occurred when she stopped her vehicle to let an elderly man cross the road, according to police.

The crash occurred around 3:45 p.m. on Paradise Trail (Routes 447/191) in the Analomink area of Stroud Township.

Police said the driver slowed to allow an elderly man with a walker to cross the road. At the same time, a pickup truck traveling behind the car attempted to stop but slid on the roads that were wet from an earlier downpour.

The truck struck the rear of the car. The car was damaged but crews were able to get out of the roadway.

The driver was taken to Pocono Medical Center, with nonlife-threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported.
